though forty-two years of age he is one
of those that mature late in life, and his
faults are those of exuberant youth. He
detests etiquette and ceremony. He has
a very violent temper. He never for
gives anybody whom he detects in telling
him . lie. He is outspoken and brusque
in his tanner. If he does not like any
one he lets the person know it at once,
and has thus created hundreds of bitter
personal enemies, who Immediately rush
off and say that the Gar is u raving

LARGEST VINEYARD I'm THE

The San Francisco Spirit OF the Times
SAYS Northern CALIFORNIA; first vineyard

ing it was q bowling wilderness OF tall
grass, ~shrubbery and forests, and In
dams and wild game were plentiful. The
venturesome vineyardist who planted his
grapes in this part Of the State was
Peter Lasseu. His vines were set out
at what is known as Vina, Tehama
county, about 100 miles north OF the
city of Sacramento. Lassen was one OF
the oldest pioneers, and many OF his
vines were planted 40 years ago. They
have attained q wonderful size and yield
~abundantly. The property then fell into
the hands of q German named Henry
Gerke, q practical vineyardist, who made
additions to the plant until there were
IS acres in grapes. He built a winery
and it became noted throughout the Pa
ciic Coast for the excellence OF the wine
produced. The Gerke vineyard soon be-
came known as one of the largest in Cal.
i~fornia, and furnished employment to a
large number of men. But the property
once more changed hands by Senator
Stanford purchasing it in September,
1881. His interest and enthusiasm in
the development Of Northern California
was great, and his vast wealth permit.
ted him to proceed ON a most extensive
scale. His purchase was not confined
to the vineyard alone, but thousands OF
acres of adjoining land was bought until
now his possessions amount TO $1,000
acres. He worked a complete revolu-
ton ON the ranch. The most expert.
enced winegrowers were employed and
set Immediately to work to overhaul the
old vineyard and set out new vines.
Hundreds Of men were put to work pre-
pairing the land, and from 1882 to 1884,
1000 acres were added to the vineyard.
and since then more extensive additions
have been made, until now he has nearly
1900 in vines, 5000 in full bearing,
making the largest vineyard in the
world. 1t is intended to make still fur
Their additions, and in a few years the
Vina vineyard will have no less than
5000 acres.
